HC being used as poor man HTTP proxy to any extent? . . .
Here are some examples {ClassicReverseProxyExample.html, ProxyTunnelDemo.html}
Has anyone attempted to extend HC anywhere near a full blown HTTP
proxy like squid.
Could you share with me any documentation you would deem valuable in
that sense?

I would start with one of the examples.
For anything non-trivial, you will have to dig into the HC code anyway, so
docs only go so far ;-)

I understand, but in hindsight if you had to restart such a project
again what had you done differently?, which documentation would you
have used?

I built a solid reverse proxy at work a couple of years ago on top of HC,
it's proprietary though. Getting the basics done is easy, relatively, but
as soon as features like CORS, OAuth, and so on come into play, then it's
hard.

Not sure, if it helps.
In Eclipse/Californium I've implemented a proxy with hc-apache two years
ago.
See
https://github.com/eclipse-californium/californium/blob/main/californium-proxy2/src/main/java/org/eclipse/californium/proxy2/http/server/HttpServer.java#L212-L232
There was a short discussion about that implementation, see:
https://lists.apache.org/thread/ddddkdv00qphxl2sysk1cnn4y29s4lzt
best regards
Achim

I am not aware of any better or more advanced proxy implementation
based on HttpCore. There is however a more suited for real-world use
example based on the non-blocking (async) i/o model that might be a
much better starting point. It can also potentially support HTTP/2 for
incoming or outgoing messages, or both.

Hope this helps
